On 16 July the annual ‘Try Something New’ Charity Day raised £630 from the school community for Maggies Cancer Support Charity. School staff supported the event by giving up their free time to organise alternative activities for students in place of their lessons.
There were a huge variety of activities ranging from the natural environment such as driftwood crafts and wildlife walks, to trying new sports like Kinball, Kubb, Mat Races and Football rounders- all of which proved extremely popular. Activities such as War Hammer, Chess, Juggling and board games were also enjoyed by many. Creative classes in face painting, rocket building, Graffiti Art, Make Your Own Key Ring and pizza making were run as well as many others teaching valuable life skills like CPR and British Sign Language and Learn to Speak Thai. Additionally, some staff really challenged the students with The Pirate Game, Taskmaster and Escape Rooms-style problem solving.
Mr Grier, PE teacher, who organised the event said “Our students in Year 7, 8 & 9 had an enormously varied day and all the school staff who led the activities thoroughly enjoyed sharing their enthusiasm”.
Thank you very much for your support and generosity.
